I am playing around with Fedora Silverblue and openSUSE Aeon and I really like the painless updates.
Still, my daily driver for some years now is Debian, and I have a decent setup via Ansible - everything just works for me.
My question is mostly to long term Linux users, which use Linux in a professional context and jumped from a distribution like Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE or Debian to NixOS, Silverblue, Aeon etc.
What is your experience? How did your workflows change on your immutable Linux distribution? Did you try immutable and went back to a more traditional distribution - why? How long are you running the immutable distribution and what issues and perks did you run into?
i’m running kinoite 39, since a few months, and honestly i’m pretty happy, there is a few bugs of theme consistence that was fixed(and because i’m in beta) i was already running everything on flatpak anyway so not much change, and toolbox is so integrated that i can install software there and use it instantly, so not needing to rpmostree install and reboot everytime, kde is not so instegrsted as gnome so global theme needed to be installed manually, and i changed a few configs to shutdown my laptop after i close the lid, so i can open it and have the system updated automaticly, i don’t think it’s perfect, i needed a lot of reading to trully know how my system works(and why i can’t change the /usr for example) but it’s fun to learn and i can install anything inside toolbox that i know not going to fuck my system lol
